Cressida Dick is stepping down from the Met’s top job – 19 arresting responses

On Thursday, hours after stating that she had no intention of resigning, the controversial Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, resigned.

The Met posted her statement on Twitter.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who had earlier spoken to Commissioner Dick, shared his own reasoning.

Boris Johnson had warm and admiring words for the woman whose failure to investigate the Downing Street parties, followed by her decision to investigate, had supported his successive excuses for deflecting questions.

Others were less positive about her contributions.
